Answer 1

Answer:

For more than 35 miles company A will charge less than company B

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us write the equation of the cost of each company

Company A:

∵ Company A charges $96 for unlimited mileage

∴ The cost of company A = 96

Company B:

∵ Company B charges an initial fee of $75

∵ It charges $0.6 for every mile driven

∵ The number of miles is m

- Multiply m by 0.6 and add 75 to the product

∴ The cost of company B = 75 + 0.6 m

∵ Company A will charge less than company b

∴ 96 < 75 + 0.6 m

- Subtract 75 from both sides

∴ 21 < 0.6 m

- Divide both sides by 0.6

∴ 35 < m

- That means m is greater than 35

∴ m > 35

For more than 35 miles company A will charge less than company B
